City of Bonesby Cassandra Clare

When fifteen-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder — much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. Then the body disappears into thin air. It’s hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing — not even a smear of blood — to show that a boy has died.

City of Ashesby Cassandra Clare

Clary Fray just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what’s normal when you’re a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who’s becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn’t ready to let her go — especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary’s only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil—and also her father.

Tough question, because I love so much and so many of the characters, but I’d say the strong relationships and friendships–not just among certain age groups, but between the teens and the adults as well. They really seem to respect each other. Plus I love Jace (TMI) and Jem (TID), very different types of characters, but each so great. Thanks!

What I love most about the world of the Shadowhunters is that the story has everything romance, heartbreak, amazing plot-twists, suspense, fantasy, and everything you could want from a book. Easily one of my favorite series and will always hold a place in my heart.

What I love most about the Shadowhunter world is that it’s so fantastical but grounded to reality. It’s a world within our world so it’s really easy to imagine that could be real. We Mundanes just can’t see it because we don’t have the Sight. Oh, and I love Jace and Jem, too. 😉

I love everything about the shadowhunter world (expect those laws that are unfair ) but its a world i seem to always come back to. The diversity in the characters makes me feel safe, welcomed and they are just amazing ❤️

The Shadowhunters books changed my life in a huge way. I love the characters, the story that Cassandra wrote. I love being a fan and have friends that I met thanks to this amazing books. They show values and that you have to fight for what you think is good, think by yourself and take care of your loved ones.
That’s why I love that much Shadowhunters. Because these are characters and stories that run through the pages and get right into our hearts.

The Shadowhunter books got me back into reading. I fell in love with the world Cassandra Clare created instantly. I can’t explain what it is that sucked me in, but it is one of my favorite fantasy worlds. I love the snarky banter between the characters. Will Herondale and Magnus Bane are two of my most favorite literary characters. I even named my kitten Chairman Meow after Magnus’s cat. These books and their world changed me, I have even made friends with other fans because of our love for these books. That is what I love most about the Shadowhunter books, the fans. There are so many it’s like a community, they bring people together to create the best book Fandom out there!

I can not possibly love a series more! The first time I read The City of Bones I was hooked- and I had picked it up at the library on a whim! I then read everything that Cassandra Clare has published (many times over) and I can’t wait for Lord of Shadows and the sequel series to The Infernal Devices!!

I love the series because the character development is SIX incredible, I was about to see Clary and Alec grow within the books. And let’s not talk about Clare’s style of writing, it’s one of the best I’ve read in a while, and it’s simply captivating!

I love how Cassie created this whole new word with so many little details. I can simply never get bored of it because there is so much more to explore! I just wish all her books would come out quickly because the wait is killing me. Also deciding wheather Will, Jace or Jules are my favorite… Such a hard decision. But I’m totally for Malec! ❤️ Thank you for this go away opportunity and thank you Cassie for creating this word for us!😘

There are so many incredible things about the Shadowhunter world, but my favorite might be just how it weaves so effortlessly into our world. It feels more…real that way, like that world could truly exist without our knowledge because it’s so hidden, like we could be sucked into that world at a moments notice because it’s directly under our fingertips but we just can’t reach it. I love that feeling of possibility and mystery the Shadowhunter world gives to our own reality.

The Shadowhunter world was what really got me into reading and I probably wouldn’t have continued reading as much as I have without this world. The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices are some of my all time favorite books. I love the characters and the story. I love almost everything about the books. Also, Lady Midnight was hands down one of the best books I read this year. I love all of the characters in it and I can’t wait for Lord of Shadows!

I love the posters so so much, the sweatshirt, and the runes. Anything shadowhunter related really. This series is my favorite and Cassandra is my absolute favorite author. Her books are the reason I started reading. So just so much love for her, the series, and the merchandise!

I love the uniqueness and allure of the shadow world. I first read this coming into highschool and now I’m rereading them on my way out and I still love them all the more. I love the Cassandra Clare crafts her story. And I am able to truly connect with characters, and can no doubt proclaim that they are my favorite by far

I love this series ability to capture so many people and change their lives because of it’s characters, story, emotion, and muc more. Reading this series changed my life! I woudn’t be the reader, blogger, booktuber I am today wuthout having read this series. It started it all and I will be forever grateful to Cassie and these books for doing so! <3

My favorite thing about the Shadow World is the characters. They’ve all added something to my life. Their words have really stuck with me. A teacher recommended the series to me in 8th grade. Now, I’m in my junior year of college, and I still continue to read them. I love being able to escape into their world. I’ve reread the books many times, so that should tell you how much I love the Shadow World.

The thing I love the most about the Shadowhunter world is the fact that a bada** like Will Harondale is terrified by something as small as a duck. Really!!! The love triangle between Will, Jem, and Tessa keeps you on the edge of your seat. Never knowing what is coming next. Then you have Jace, Clary, and Simon. The continuous excitement and secrets throughout the Shadowhunter series keeps you awake at night. Making you to never want to put the books down.❤💚💛💜💙🖤

My favorite thing about Shadowhunters is it’s diversity. I honestly enjoy that at the core of the story there are magical creatures of many different types and beliefs that have to learn to coexist as a society. It’s something that in today’s climate is much needed and has been needed for some time now.

I love the Shadowhunter series! I love the secrets and the never ending excitment and suprises that are thrown at you while reading! Sometimes I get one of those moments where I’m thinking, “Did that really just happen?”, and sometimes i get really happy with the outcome. While reading the series I’ve laughed, cried, yelled, and had times where i wanted to throw the book across the room. (I didn’t of course because who would want to harm a book like that.) To sum it up I think that this is definitely one of the most amazing series I’ve ever read. With the Codex made into an actual book that we can also read and experience it makes it better. I’ve finished all of The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices. As well as The Codex and Lady Midnight. I’m waiting excitedly and patiently for the next book after Lady Midnight. ( Kieran though 💚💚.) As for anyone who hasn’t read the series’ you should. I promise you won’t regret it 💜💜.

All of Cassandra Clare’s books are truly amazing. The characters are fascinating and the Herondale boys to die for. I am sincerely excited for Lord of Shadows and can’t wait to hear more about the Blackthorns (especially Mark) and of course the lovely and deadly Emma Carstairs.

My favorite part of the shadow world is the fact that it never seems to get old you will never be bored even if you fighting for your life every second of your life. Not only is that my favorite part but all the forbidden romances and the classic tales in it as well.

I love a lot of aspects about the Shadowhunter world: the books are so well thought out and the world developing that Cassie does is truly amazing, plus the characters are easy to get attached to and root for (and against) and they all grow so much over the course of the books–each character shows significant change at the end of every book and it really makes you feel like you’ve gone on a journey alongside them.
And the series is easy to get absorbed into (and even lost in sometimes) because of the way that it is both relatable and different than our own world. All three series and spinoff books make it easy to believe that there is magic in the world, as well as things beyond our line of Sight (see what I did there?).

My first thought when my mom bought the first book was, maybe it could be fun. But once I started it I began drawing everything from it. Now I’m kinda obsessed with the world! So looking forward to new books!

I love how the the Mortal Instruments has brought so many people together with their massive mutual love of the Shadowhunter World. My sister and I first read City of Bones after renting it from our library five years ago and have been committed to the Shadowhunter World ever since. Especially now when there are (like you guys said) so many outlets, its consuming and wonderful to be a Shadowhunter fan. I think The Mortal Instruments really brought my sister on common reading ground because before that our interests were very different and that was really cool to be able to have something that we equally loved and could do together, rather than having one of us be obsessed with a book or band and the other tag along not as invested but still supportive. Thank you Cassandra Clare for this awesome world and thanks to Riveted for the crazy prize pack giveaway 😀

I love the relationships between all of the characters and how Cassandra made them so intricately intertwined with each other. You can see what all the characters mean to each other and how they interact with each other and because of Cassandra’s skilled writing you fall in love with them.

My favorite part of the world of the Shadowhunters is how intricate and delicate all of the characters are and their relationships with each other. I also love their “magic” and communications with the werewolves and vampires and fairies.

I love all the characters and magic that goes on in the Shadowhunter world! Magnus Bane, being my favorite character because of his sassiness. And Will, for being an arrogant teen, but one who loves to read! I fell in love with Cassie Clare’s world from chapter one, and I continue to love all the new books she writes. <3

I love how the Shadowhunter world is in the real world, but it feels as if it’s in another place entirely, so it makes me feel as if I could one day just walk into a place where there is an invisible Shadowhunter one foot away from me.

I love how the shadowhunters have their own little culture. They have their own customs and holidays, and it’s as if they live on their own little planet. They have their own rituals and sometimes don’t even know mundane technology and social media. It’s like they’re from the past but from the future as well.

I love how diverse the Shadowhunters world is. There’s always something new to learn about it, and always something interesting going on in it, which obviously makes for amazing stories. There’s a reason I’ve been in love with these series for eight years, and will continue loving them for years to come.

LOVE TMI and lady midmight. Read tmi complete three times. Liked first Saw the movie and enjoyed it, made me curious so i sampled the cuty of bones…. followed to the end. Excited for season 2 of Shadowhuntwrs and next TDA lird if shadows. Read And liked clockwork angel and half of academy was able to download when each section was released separately. (RL preempts reading sometimes😟).

It’s hard to decide what there is to love more about the Shadowhunter series. I won’t say what I think is the best about the series, I will though say what attracted me to the series and what has forced me to be such an avid reader of this series. Cassandra Clare’s writing is so relatable. No, I’m not talking about the whole supernatural side to it but more, as a teenager, the way she describes the stories about her character that you will ALWAYS find something to relate towards. No matter how old you are, there is something about each character that will attract you and keep you hooked. The way she writes and sets such a vivid image plastered in your mind really makes you want to stay we’re you are and keep reading. The Shadowhunter series are by far, a masterpiece, that’s why I think that no word or such could really describe what is the best part about this series.

I love the Shadowhunters series. I got into the books when the movie came out and really liked them. I like the supernatural, romance, and action elements the series has. I also like Clary, she is a realistic and strong character.

My favorite part of the Shadowhunter Series is the intricate and magical world Clare created. She inspires me to push boundaries every time I write. The books make you feel something and have created a community of fans that have become friends. That alone is simply amazing.

My favourite part of the Shadowhunter series is all the unique characters and how they all play important roles in the stories. No two characters are alike and they don’t usually follow stereotypes. Every character is lovable (even the villains) and they all compliment each other so well.

Cassandra Clare does an amazing job with character development. The characters become real as if they were members of your own family (but so much cooler than the weird uncle that shows up at holiday times ).

Cassandra Clare does an amazing job with character development. The characters become real as if they were members of your own family (but so much cooler than the weird uncle that shows up at holiday times ). Can’t wait to continue the newest installments.

I love the shadowhunter world with all my heart because of the amazing characters I always fall in love with and the storyline of each book is unpredictable and makes me become so engrossed in the world I never want to leave but I know I can always return to!

I don’t think I can limit it to just one thing that I love. I just love the entire world and all the characters and how I can never put one of the books down until I finish and then I immediately have to start the next one. And Magnus. I love him so much he gets to be specifically mentioned.

The Shadowhunter world is amazing and so well written. The characters are so distinct and wondrous. The whole world made me feel accepted and exultant in a way I never felt with my family or friends and I thank Cassandra Clare every time I look or think of her books for the sensational feeling her writing gave me.

I tried reading The Mortal Instruments series. I stopped not long into the first book. I read and loved some of the Magnus Bane stories!!! I still need to read the others. I read The Infernal Instruments trilogy on overdrive and loved it! I’ll have to give City of Bones another chance. If there’s any chance I could love that series as much as The Infernal Devices I definitely have to try reading it again!!!

I love how I can get lost in the Shadowhunters world and that there keep being more stories to get lost in. The characters are fun to follow and I like how different stories and people are connected within the world.

I absolutely love Magnus and his glittering personality. Alec is my favourite, he is just amazing 😆! I love them all – Clary’s creativity, Jace’s bravery (and his hansome face of course 😁) and Simon and Izzy! They are all so great 💓 and Max..😢😭💔

What I love most about the Shadow world is the fact I get sucked in so easily with all the action and mystery. The characters you just can’t help but root for and cheer on to get the bad guys. Thank you Cassandra Clare for coming up with something so amazing.

I love the relationships and how Cassie opens up people’s minds to new things (such as gay relationships and a bit about religion). She makes you fall in love with her characters and their problems. You hurt when they hurt, cry when they cry, and laugh when they laugh.

I discovered my life through shadowhunters. It was and still is one of my all time favorite series, and without it I would not be anything close to the person I am today. I fell in love with the shadowhunters world after a friend recommended City of Bones. I had never read a book with “supernatural” characters, and these books created my obsession over urban fantasy and the way they interacted with the real world. The book led me to connect with booktube and other booktubers who love Cassandra Clare novels as well. It encouraged me to start my own booktube, and if I hadn’t, I don’t know where my life would have gone. I am forever thankful <3
